Hello! We are SO glad you found us!
Welcome to a whole new way of looking at your horses ~ and really understanding what is going on inside them!
This will literally save you thousands of dollars $$!
Are you searching for why your horse is having training or behavioral issues? Saddle fit issues? Mysterious lameness the Vets cannot find? Spooky, flighty or ‘head shaking’ horse, maybe Uveitis?

If you answered yes to any of these issues ~ you have come to the right place! We teach you how to find and release all these issues.
Why is your horse needing joint injections before 10 years of age? Are you being told that this is ‘normal’ and not believing it? Why is your horse needing to be on Previcox or UlcerGuard medications? Are you looking for a different solution?

These issues are why you are here! Look closely at the pink rib. (below) You will see less of a gap between that side shoulder versus the other side. While this does not cause the horse any pain, it does not allow that side shoulder to move correctly. All horses we have seen in captivity have had 1st rib misalignment since just 6 months of age!
Did you know this starts the high-low hoof syndrome most farriers and trimmers are always correcting? Did you know that this imbalance shifts the ribs and withers out of alignment?
You have come to the right place!

When the first rib is misaligned at the very early age of just 6 months old, it does not allow that shoulder to move correctly, as described by most horse chiropractors.
On this skeleton you will see under the horse’s right shoulder (left side of photo), there is no gap.
The first rib was misaligned early on in this horses’ life. This would make taking the right lead very uncomfortable, making the left front leg work twice as hard. As a result, the left hoof has grown larger due to taking most of the weight of the horse.
This issue in this horse can cause:
* Stress on the left tendon and suspensory ligament (creating mysterious lameness)
* Stress on the inside left hock, (as horses work a diagonal)
* Overloading stress to the right stifle, (the same side as the rib that is misaligned)
To confirm this, ask any professional trainer how the horse uses their body when in work.
When horses are ‘unwilling’ to take a certain lead, a first rib misalignment is generally the major cause… it’s not that they are lazy, or don’t want to, or that they have a weaker side.
Our workshops and home study video programs teach you how to release the 1st rib misalignment that most other modalities are missing.
Once corrected, comfort and ease of movement returns to the horse.
Something you can easily do at home to help your horses, is our daily 5-Step Yoga. Your horses will feel better and they will be much more willing to do what we ask of them.

Why Holistic Horse Works and Why Equine Holistic Therapy?
Many things that contribute to a horse’s comfort or lack thereof include, but are not limited to, saddle fit, diet, and living conditions, as well as regular routine and activity.
The premise of Holistic Horseworks LLC unique Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding therapy is based on exactly that: a holistic therapy that releases tension from the musculoskeletal body, the fascial body, the emotional body and the osteopathy body of the horse. Using bodywork techniques to realign the musculoskeletal body, the therapy also uses advanced applied kinesiology techniques and ancient Chinese energy work methods that can bring softness, suppleness and vitality back to the horse in just one session.
Additionally, April has discovered that some of the answers to the changes she sees in her equine partners in equine holistic therapy may be related to a build-up of toxins in their bodies, mainly the Thimerosal and other by-products currently in today’s vaccines, as well as chemical wormers.
Together, our program and techniques can add 10+ years to your horse’s rideable life!
April has helped many horse owners to learn holistic horse training and how to help their own horses. You can see for yourself in her FREE stretching video called “Yoga For Horses” Please watch this holistic horse training video, “Introduction to Holistic Horse Works with April Love” on how the body is connected.

The Horses Are Talking – Are You Listening?
The majority of training and behavioral issues are caused by pain issues in the horse’s body that are easily corrected. This results in a horse that is unwilling to switch leads, girthy or is a cold backed horse, unable to engage its hind end. These issues lead to high/low syndrome in hooves, roach back and hunter bump calcifications as well as arthritic hocks and side-bone. You can fix this with holistic horse training!
My Approach
Sometimes she just stands with her hands on the horse. You’ll see her do stretches with a horse, massage…and she does funny things with her fingers.
The goal is to assist the horse’s body, putting it in a position where it can effectively heal itself. There are conformation elements, soft tissue elements, emotional elements, muscle memory elements, nutritional elements, and toxicity elements. Finding the balance takes more than good technique.
The most direct way to describe April’s approach is to say that she listens to the horse, asks the horse which modality it needs first, listens for the answer, and applies her techniques in whatever way is most appropriate at that time.
About April Love
As the founder of Holistic Horseworks, LLC, April Love has taken decades of classes and her experience of training and riding horses to a new level of healing horses. While training the ‘un-trainable or problem’ horses, she found that many of them exhibited pain, and when the pain was taken away, ‘the problem issues’ were too.
April has spent over $16,000 in various courses over the last two decades learning how to find the ’cause’ of the issues creating the pain that causes those problems in horses. She teaches her innovative techniques in clinics worldwide to horse owners and equine professionals globally.
